EMPHASIS Syrah
It is produced from the French variety Syrah, which has adapted exceptionally well to the microclimate of Drama. The grapes come from a selected plot on the slopes of mount Menoikio at an altitude of about 400 meters, where low yields per hectare prevail.
Vinification:
The carefully selected date of the night harvest and the exact duration of extraction, contributes to the optimal balance of the aromatic and phenolic potential of the variety of Syrah. The wine ages for 16 months in French oak barrels with further 12 months in the bottle.
Characteristics:
Deep purple in color with violet sheens. The nose is dominated by an intense, concentrated bouquet of fruity aromas like cherries and blackberries, spicy aromas like thyme and basil and oaky characteristics. Rich and tasteful on the palate, with velvety tannins, pleasing texture, and captivating fruity-spicy aftertaste. A very concentrated, lively, complex and age worthy wine.
